Hi, I’m Kate Bradley, and you may have read or heard about my romance story with my hunky hero, Jack, in Falling for the Farmer. Jack and I have been married for a couple of years now, and we have very exciting news to share. We’re having a baby!
There have been a lot of changes in our lives since our Falling for the Farmer story ended. We’ve just moved into our new house on the family apple farm, after too many delays. Building a house can be a frustrating experience and I can’t wait to finally have our own space. I love Jack’s parents and Aunt Doris, but living in close proximity with your husband’s family can be challenging.
The other big news is my best friend and sister-in-law, Megan, is moving back to Snowgum Creek! Megan’s really looking forward to becoming an aunt.
Jack and I are hoping she’ll stay in Snowgum Creek for a while, but we’re not sure it will happen. There’s also the added complication of Luke Morton, Jack’s best friend, who owns the medical clinic in Snowgum Creek. The handsome doctor is the most eligible bachelor in town. Megan and Luke grew up together in Snowgum Creek, and things didn’t end well the last time they were together.
You can read Luke and Megan’s story and learn more about my pregnancy journey in The Doctor’s Return, releasing in August 2014.
Narelle here. I hope you’ve enjoyed catching up with Kate today. I’m giving away a print copy of The Doctor’s Return, the third book in my Snowgum Creek series, (worldwide, wherever The Book Depository delivers) to a reader who leaves a comment on this post and enters the Rafflecopter giveaway.

Not entering the contest as I have the book and have read it, but I did want to let your viewers know my experience with The Doctor’s Return if you don’t mind.
The Doctor’s Return…another great Heartsong novel by a lovely Christian lady, Narelle Atkins. They say “you can’t go home again”, BUT, Megan Bradley is a character that desired both power and love with the hearts strong desire to travel as opposed to staying in the same place forever, especially a small place like Snowgum Creek. However, the heart stopping handsome Doctor, Luke Morton, was a home town boy with no desire to travel the globe! Could he convince his long lost love that one COULD go home again?…This awesome story is filled with hope, love of God and family, faith and commitment… It is definitely a page turner, and I felt so privileged to be reading such a brilliant and sweet love story. I am certainly a lover of happy endings and I highly recommend this book to everyone loving a good Christian romance novel. I took the book to the hospital as I had to go for surgery and I read this entire book the first day I felt human again..and enjoyed every word! Thanks Narelle, for another winner
Hi Ruth, You are a sweetheart :) I’m so glad to hear you loved reading The Doctor’s Return. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here – I appreciate you!
